One of our favorite Southern starlets, Reese Witherspoon, masters the season’s hottest trend: the crop top. The Southern icon manages to pull off all of the latest trends while making them flattering and even timeless. As with any look that shows a little skin, the key to keeping the crop top classy is balancing it with a more conservative cut elsewhere. That’s why we recommend always pairing your crop top to with a highwaisted bottom. Here are four more ways to make your crop top look chic, not showy.
